They're trying to print out additional copies right now.
They cost 5000won (~5$), but 2500won (2$) is donated out so the people just rushed to the subway stations and grabbed everything they could
Right from the first day, they already realized that they didn't supply enough copies, so a lot of shops were selling out, but in 2 days, it completely sold out!!
(t/n: for those who don't know, Big Issue is a magazine which half of the profit goes for homeless people. Homeless people are hired as vendors/sales person to sell this magazine :) )
Here are the reactions from fans who got their hands on a copy
"I'm about to cry ㅠㅠ as soon as I left the office, I ran while panting all the way to buy this at the grandpa's store. He said that Kai is laying food on his table since people are buying 5~10 copies at once and he told me to enjoy the rest. Jongin-ah, thanks to you, people are spending their winters more warmly <3"
Big issue's editor was also so shocked after the first day that he released something
"#BigIssue's first day of sales, is this some kind of chain effect? All places are selling out one after the other, EXO-Ls, thank you for letting our sellers go off work earlier... Thank you so much, I'm all teary.
Where's Kai? I need to see him and give a deep bow..."
Kai also indirectly mentioned this when he was giving his award speech all tearyㅠㅠ
He thanked all the fans who participatedㅠㅠ

- My friend is an EXO-L and she likes Kai the most. Because of the meaning behind this photoshoot was to give out for charitable works, it made us want to buy even more. My friend bought 60 copies... Daebak. Kai and EXO fans are jjang.
